This paper contributes to the discussion on climate policy by focusing on the challenges to and opportunities for achieving net zero emissions by 2050 in Italy. To support Italian energy planning, we have developed energy roadmaps towards national climate neutrality, consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the IPCC goal of limiting the increase in global surface temperature to 1.5 \u00b0C. Starting from the Italian framework, these scenarios identify the correlations between the main pillars for the change of the energy paradigm towards net emissions by 2050. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1310,1318,1337,1307,1320],"targets":[],"pubblicazioni_tipologie":[773],"class_list":["post-194050","pubblicazioni","type-pubblicazioni","status-publish","hentry","tag-decarbonization","tag-development-scenarios-en","tag-flexibility","tag-renewable-energy-en","tag-sustainable-development-en","pubblicazioni_tipologie-isi-article-en"],"acf":{"projects":{"ID":191049,"post_author":"464","post_date":"2024-07-10 16:50:41","post_date_gmt":"2024-07-10 14:50:41","post_content":"","post_title":"Tools and models, including sectoral ones, for energy and electricity scenarios adapted to the evolution of the system - Analysis of market and regulatory evolution","post_excerpt":"In recent years, scenario analyses of the Italian electrical and energy system have been and will continue to be in the future the main tool for conducting impact studies on new drivers or new energy policies.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"tools-and-models-including-sectoral-ones-for-energy-and-electricity-scenarios-adapted-to-the-evolution-of-the-system-analysis-of-market-and-regulatory-evolution","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-08-09 15:57:42","post_modified_gmt":"2024-08-09 13:57:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/progetti\/tools-and-models-including-sectoral-ones-for-energy-and-electricity-scenarios-adapted-to-the-evolution-of-the-system-analysis-of-market-and-regulatory-evolution\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"progetti","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"order_posts":"","dont_show_search":false,"related_posts":false,"dont_show_hompage":false,"show_on_slider":false,"single_post_data":{"titolo_spot":"","post_content":"
The energy scenarios were developed using TIMES-RSE, a technology-rich partial equilibrium and optimization model of the entire Italian energy system. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis was developed using sMTISIM, a long-term simulator of the energy system and electricity markets. The results show that, to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the Italian energy system will have to undergo profound transformations on multiple and strongly correlated dimensions. An energy mix predominantly based on renewables (at least 80-90% by 2050) is essential to decarbonize the majority of final energy consumption. However, the sharp increase in non-programmable renewables requires particular attention be paid to the new flexibility resources needed for the electricity system, such as Power-to-X. Green fuels produced from renewable sources through Power-to-X will be a vital energy source for those sectors where electrification faces technical and economic barriers. The results of the paper also confirm that the European principle of \u2018energy efficiency first\u2019 is the first step on the road to climate neutrality.<\/p>\n","scarica_file":false,"link_estreno":[{"link_text":"Download ISI Article","link":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1996-1073\/15\/1\/46"}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2021-12-22","autori":"M.
